LSNED day 7

After taking dads to hospital  - and sitting waiting with your crocheting...

- it really is nice to treat yourself on impulse once in a while ......not everyone's cup of tea but I love him!

LSNED day 6 - delightful dahlias!

I learned today that ....

Grandad's dahlias can get really tall - he is standing up in the background - and he's not that tiny!

and here's my page for day 5 AND you won't believe what happened today either ....

Yep  - this is another one - this time for £5 ......must know when to stop and not get carried away  though ! Although it makes me want to buy a Euromillions ticket!

Here's the second one ...

LSNED - pages so far and day 5

and what did I learn on day 5 ....
that  you can sometimes win on a scratchcard ....yay me - £20 ! .tee hee :-)

LSNED day four

I gave in to myself the other week when there was a Christmas Craft Day on tv and ordered an  Anna Griffin card kit.
It arrived after a couple of days and I keep promising myself that I'm just going to sit and make Christmas cards one Sunday - soon....

......Lesson today... It really is never too early to start Christmas and it's ok to 'cheat' a bit when you've got loads to make...

LSNED day three

 What have I learned today ??

No matter how many times we do it - my heart always hurts on the day of the Uni  drop off.....

I've finished the book cover now- I decided to leave the tape off and leave it as it was and have added a couple of grungeboard hinges which I painted black then had a good old spritz with Antique Gold.

LSNED day two - help please

I've been making my book cover today and I've certainly learned that I really really do like messing about with inks and paint and stuff and should do more of it ........The album  started life like this

An American Crafts 8x8 album.

I've painted it and alcohol inked it and covered it with some Tim Holtz Craft Resist cardstock- then inked over the Craft Resist ........so far it looks like this...

 I could do with a bit of help - I can't make my mind up whether to leave it like this or add this abc tape - I will probably ink over the tape to make it not so white - opinions please........

                                            
  I keep putting it on and taking it off and still can't decide.
  I think I might add some hinges on the spine too.....

.

LSNED- Day one - what did I learn ?

Work really can be quite fun sometimes ..........

Not only do we get nice visitors

One of my colleagues has a Dachsund - she came in for a quick visit ....I had a job getting a decent photo of her on my phone as she was right up the other end of the office...settling down beside her owner...

Then she  popped up to my end of the office to say hello so I snapped a quick photo.....

Not only that .....

the Accountant pretended to be her.......
